2 yr old getting autism assessment

beautifulboy2

hi there. im new and in need of any advice! not sure what im looking for and my head is full of Qs! ive struggled with my son since he started moving and hes now 28 months. i also have a boy of nearly 4. finally im getting help and people are listening to me. i used to question myself...is it that im tired? maybe i just cant cope with 2 toddlers?is he really this difficult to handle or is it just me? well i now know its not me. wish it was, but at the same time im relieved and i can get him help sooner rather than later. anyone going through the same as me with similar aged child?xSmile

  • hi again.

    yes autism certainly is very complex, and affects people in very different ways.There is lots of info on this web site, if you havnt read it already i found it easier to understand than a lot of the books which a lot of the time i found terribly confusing. i would say dont overload yourself with too much info all at once, you will do your own head in.

    i think the key is to be patient, eventually you will understand his little quirks and ways, so you will know which things to do and which not to. You already deserve a big well done for recognising he has difficulties and getting help

    in my experience the assessment process can take quite a long time, which in itself is frustrating, i guess this will vary from place to place
